A chemical spill has caused a key route through Liverpool to be closed today while firefighters investigated the suspicious substance.

The emergency services were called to a construction site on the junction of Millers Bridge and Regent Road in Bootle at about midday after five utility workers were affected by a “noxious substance” and fumes coming from a manhole cover.

The ECHO was told at the scene that there had been a gas leak at a nearby construction site.
